Art expresses man.

Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.

Art is not in some far-off place. A work of art is the expression of a man's whole personality, sensibility and ability.

The business of art is to reveal the relation between man and his environment.

In addition to giving comfort and joy, art also has the miraculous ability to let us live in other men's skins, to test our perceptions and beliefs against theirs, and perhaps to be changed as a result. It does this by portraying the world creatively, heightening our perception and enriching our understanding of things as they are.

Art is that which comes to a man, and stands between himself and an implacable witness: the work.

Art begins with resistance - at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor.

Art is the objectification of feeling.

Art is man's distinctly human way of fighting death.
